Alan Pardew intends to make changes throughout Crystal Palace's
squad in the coming months to ensure his side stay away from
trouble next season.

Since taking over as manager at Selhurst Park in January, Pardew
has transformed Palace's fortunes, guiding the club away from the
relegation fight in the Premier League with a run that included
impressive victories over Tottenham and Manchester City.

Despite four successive defeats, Palace are eight points clear
of the drop zone with two games remaining, but Pardew is already
planning an overhaul at the club.

"I've asked questions of this squad that haven't been asked
before and, so far, they've come up with all the answers," he said
at the club's end-of-season awards evening.

"[But] we have to keep evolving, keep changing. And that's
something I'm happy to do.

"Hopefully this summer we will invest and make this club a real
stable Premier League club."

Palace travel to Liverpool this weekend, before finishing the
campaign at home to Swansea City.
